Chavez Takes Grubb's Place
Since Walter Grubb resigned the position seven weeks
ago, various faculty members
have taken over the duties of
the office of Dean of Student
Life.
Last week, following the
meeting of the Board of
Trustees, an interim dean was
appointed to fill the vacancy
of Dean of Student Life. Bob
Chavez, director of student
housing, was chosen to act as
dean of students until such a
time as a new one is found.
"I'm excited," said Chavez.
"I feel like we're a real supportive staff, because we're so
small."
Chavez said that he hopes
that this will be a time of
growth. He also hopes that
students will look back at this
time and remember it, not as a
time without leadership, but as
a time of transition.
"I'm hoping I can be a
sounding board," commented
Chavez. "I don't mind taking
any responsibility I need to
take."
The office of Student Life
plans to move ahead as the
search for a permanent dean
continues.
Jeanine Johnson, a
secretary in the Student Life
Office, commented, "I'm glad
he's in there, it will take some
of the burden off of Jenae
(Hart). He's a good boss."
The hope is that a permanent dean will soon be found.
Some of the worry, however,
has been relieved now that
something definite has been
done.

Staples Named
Chancellor
The trustees announced Sat., Nov. 5, during their last
regular meeting, that President James R. Staples would leave
his position as president of CBC and take on the job of
chancellor, effective Feb. 1984.
Dr. Staples let the trustees, and CBC, know a year ago that
he planned to retire before his 65th birthday, which would be
in February of 1985. When "asked what prompted an early
resignation, Staples replied, that retiring early would allow a
smooth transition to take place.
A question that immediately came to the minds of most of
the students was: what is a chancellor and how does Dr.
Staples fit into that roll? Staples' roll as chancellor will entail
mostly public relations work, especially with the BOLD VENTURE campaign.
Dr. Staples has served CBC as president for the past 13 and
a half years. The question was asked to Staples of how long
he planned to stay here at CBC as chancellor and what other
options would he be considering?
"1 feel committed to stav^alJgasJaine^eafjis cajicellor-/'
Staples said, "but after that, I may do something else;
however the Lord leads." Staples also said that he would like
to work for the Foreign Missions Board.

No Apology Needs To Be Made
"No apology needs to be
made." This comment seemed
to indicate the mood of most
of the trustees when asked
about the tuition hike,
although only one actually
said it.
When the trustees met for
the last time on Nov. 5th not
many surprises were expected,
even an increase in tuition;
however, the size of the increase was not expected. The
trustees voted, unanimously,
to increase the tuition by 11 %
beginning in the fall of '84.
When the recommendation
to increase the tuition was
brought before the board there
were several trustees that tried,
in vain, to persuade the other
trustees not to increase the tuition by so much. They said
that with the increase in dorm
fees, rent, and the general increase in the cost of living, it
would be unreasonable to increase the tuition by 11%.
They said that the increase
should be limited to the rate of
inflation, about 5 or 6%.
When it came time to vote
these trustees did not vote
against the increase.
The mood of the students
that attended the meeting was
one of forlorn. Most wanted
to be able to express their opinion but were not allowed to.
Only one student was allowed
to speak, but even then the
trustees did not address his
question.
"I feel like they had their
mind made up when they got
here and they didn't want to
be confused by the facts," said
one student.
"Yes Virginia, we had a college," said another student.
"I feel really sad about the
whole thing," said one
teacher.
Most everyone expected an
increase and most everyone
was surprised by the size. The
trustees argued that we were
among the lowest priced colleges of our size and type in
area; however, they did not
compare us to other Southern
Baptist colleges. Why they
refused to compare us to other
Southern Baptist colleges is
not known. Perhaps we might
be among the highest priced of
the Southern Baptist colleges,
that could explain why they
did not compare us to them.
The trustees approved the
Student Foundation of CBC at
their regular meeting on Saturday, Nov. 5. The proposal was
made on Friday to the public
affairs "committee of the
trustees by Bob Williams,
president of the student
foundation.
The student foundation was
set up to solicit funds for the
purpose of capital improvements for CBC. The way
in which it works is that the
students take a list of corporations and send letters to them
asking for their tax deductible
donation.
The foundation itself will
contain 40% of the donations;
the money cannot be expended
in any way. The other 60%
will be spent on capital improvements such as the
renovation of the dorms, or
possibly the construction of
the student life building.
The money in the student
foundation will be completely
controlled by the students.
"We're tired of having to
pay for the administrations
mistakes," stated Bob Wood,
vice president of public affairs
for the student foundation,
"Our main concern was to
keep the control of the money
away from the administration,
if we didn't, the money would
only end up being used to pay
off the deficit, then the
students would never see the
improvements."
The student foundation will
soon be taking on members.
There are five people on the
executive council. The three
officers are: Bob Williams,
president, Bob Wood, vice
president of public affairs and
Sam Tialavea, vice president
for business affairs. John Mc-
Combs is the business
manager and Bonnie Kempf is
the secretary.
The overall reaction from
the trustees was that they were
very pleased with the concern
of the students. There last
words were to go out and earn
money.
